Not even in a mean way. But it is is absolutely insane to know even a fraction of American history and think armed white men patrolling the streets will just be smooth sailing for black people. That is willful ignorance and delusion

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

The thing that proves Trump isn't a real poster is that he wouldn't like any of these guys if he saw their posts and the posts mocking them. He doesn't know who any of them are.

Trump hints that he's going to give Andy Ngo, Pizzagate Jack, and others at the antifa roundtable the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

"You have been amazing, you have been brave. You are real patriots. At some point, we will look into rewarding you with very important medals and honors."

this reminds me very much of how musk would complain about twitter features needing to be fixed or removed whenever they posed a problem for him and/or the chuds he increasingly molded the site to serve

screenshot of a post from Rose, a member of the Bluesky team who’s been called out recently for following the Heritage Foundation

post text: “The ‘follow’ button confounds ‘I’m looking at your content’ and ‘I endorse this content.’ We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.”

Fun little side note is that one of my labelers indicates her as a JD Vance follower because of course she is

It feels very easy for them to say this before they are sold. New overlords might not agree.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
